Owl City Lyrics

12. Tidal Wave

I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind 
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve 
All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises 
Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me 
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely 
Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train 
Lift your arms, only heaven knows where the danger grows 
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way 

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity 
Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me 

Depression please cut to the chase and cut a long story short 
Oh please be done, how much longer can this drama afford to run 
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend 
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again 

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity 
Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me 
Then I was given grace and love 
I was blind but now I can see 
Cause I've found a new hope from above 
And courage swept over me 

It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin 
Alone on the outside 
So tired of looking in 
The end is uncertain 
And I've never been so afraid 
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope 
And that makes me feel brave
